“We never know what will happen next, what we will see, and what important person will come into our life, or what important person we will lose. Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always a drama, if not a tragedy. But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed. And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow, even if that faith is not always deserved.”

“Sabe, meu jovem amigo, vou fazer noventa anos no ano que vem, e a vida ainda é uma surpresa constante para mim. Nunca sabemos o que vai acontecer, o que vamos ver e que pessoa importante vai entrar em nossa vida ou que pessoa importante vamos perder. Vida é mudança, constante mudança, e, a menos que tenhamos sorte suficiente para encontrar comédia nela, a mudança quase sempre é um drama, senão uma tragédia. No fim, e mesmo quando o céu se torna escarlate e ameaçador, ainda acredito que, se temos sorte por estarmos vivos, devemos agra- decer pelo milagre de cada momento de cada dia, por mais que sejam imperfeitos. E devemos ter fé em Deus, no universo e em um amanhá melhor, mesmo que essa fé nem sempre seja merecida.”
